SCHWEINSTEIGER HIT WITH FA
CHARGE
The Germany international was seen raising
his arm towards the Hammers defender and
has faced retrospective action, which could
earn him a three-match ban
Manchester United midfielder Bastian
Schweinsteiger has been hit with a Football
Association (FA) charge for an altercation
with West Ham defender Winston Reid.
Saturday's Premier League goalless draw
at Old Trafford was overshadowed by the
incident in which the Germany international
appeared to strike the centre-back with his
forearm.
Referee Mark Clattenburg and his
assistants missed the altercation and the
FA have subsequently opted to take
retrospective action for an "alleged act of
violent conduct".
An FA statement read: "Bastian
Schweinsteiger has been charged for an
alleged act of violent conduct which was
not seen by the match officials but caught
on video.
"The Manchester United midfielder was
involved in an incident with West Ham
United's Winston Reid in the 40th minute of
the game on Saturday 5 December 2015.
"The matter was referred to a panel of three
former elite referees who each reviewed the
video footage independently of one another
to determine whether they considered it a
sending-off offence.
"For an FA charge to follow the decision by
the panel must be unanimous."

Schweinsteiger should have been sent off
Schweinsteiger's actions were criticised by
both Reid and West Ham manager Slaven
Bilic, who stated that the former Bayern
Munich man should have been shown a red
card.
"He deserved to be sent off, but it's
impossible for the ref to see everything. No
matter how many referees you have,
sometimes they can't see," Bilic said in the
aftermath of the game.
"I'm sure if he did see it, it would have been
a straight red. Of course we are
disappointed but it happens. He just didn't
see it."
Reid added: "It was a red card. He knows
what he's done ? he's elbowed me in the
face. The referee couldn't see it, so we
move on."
Schweinsteiger has until midday on
Thursday to reply to the charge and could
face a three-match ban if found guilty
